By The Beatles. By Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Arranged by Ben Anderson. This edition: pdf. Blues, Jazz, Swing. 17 pages. Ben Anderson #1431584. Published by Ben Anderson (A0.1872323).Bring the energy and swagger of a true American classic to your stage with this saxophone quartet arrangement of “Kansas City” from Smokey Joe’s Café, written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and made famous by artists like Wilbert Harrison, The Beatles, Little Richard, and James Brown.
Arranged for intermediate AATB saxophone quartet, this chart keeps things fresh by passing the melody between players, giving each performer a moment in the spotlight while building strong ensemble cohesion. A well-placed key change adds both excitement and a touch of challenge, making it musically rewarding without being overwhelming. Clocking in at under three minutes, it’s a perfect fit for jazz nights, small ensemble concerts, contest performances, or festival programming.
Whether you’re tightening up your section playing or just looking for a crowd-pleasing groove, this arrangement delivers style, swing, and personality.
And don’t be surprised if, by the final chorus, your group feels like they’re “standin’ on the corner of Twelfth Street and Vine”—because this chart captures that same carefree spirit… no bottle of Kansas City wine required.
